Carlos Rodon threw the majors’ second no-hitter of the season on Wednesday night, losing his bid for a perfect game on a hit batter in the ninth inning, and the Chicago White Sox cruised to an 8-0 victory over Cleveland.
Working quickly in short sleeves with the top of his jersey unbuttoned on a cool Chicago night, the left-handed Rodon threw 75 of his 114 pitches for strikes. He struck out seven in his first major league shutout and his second complete game.
Rodon regained his composure in time to strike out Yu Chang looking and retire Jordan Luplow on a sharp grounder to third, kicking off a joyous celebration.
